Nikola Jokic
Nikola Jokic, “The Joker” has changed his duties from making people laugh and scream with the excitement and joy of seeing him dunk to making people go to sleep in a very uncanny way, and this is something that you would least expect from anyone in the NBA, forget the MVP himself. Jokic who has the funniest and one of the best personalities in the NBA is a fun guy to be around, and fills the atmosphere around him with joy but then this time the player himself seemed so unenthusiastic at this instance that it was bound to happen that the crowd watching him wouldn’t really enjoy what followed his run up to the rim.
Nikola Jokic, last year’s MVP and the leader in the MVP table this year has always had a personality which is exciting to see, be it on court or off of it, and by that we imply that his playing style is as extravagant as the way he goes about with his regular life. If there is anything that Nikola Jokic doesn’t lack in his life I enthusiasm, and it shows in his sheer dominant performances and the control he has on court where the player can simply carry the ball to the rim and dunk it in as anyone else can do nothing but witness those loud dunks going down.
The Denver Nuggets have fed off of Nikola Jokic’s form in the best possible way and have been able to go ahead in the league, the credits of which go to the man Jokic himself who has led the way for his team in a commendable effort, which was displayed in the Nuggets’ game against the pelicans as well, which the Nuggets won by an 8-point margin. The Nuggets who stand at the 6th position in the western conference have a comfortable cushion in their rankings which will allow them to smoothly move into the playoffs and potentially get their hands at the title this year keeping in mind the kind of form their lead has been in.
Let us now take a closer look at this instance of Jokic making the slowest and unathletic dunk in the history of the sport, which almost put the crowd to sleep.
Nikola Jokic makes the slowest and the most unathletic dunk in the History of the NBA
The Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans was a close matchup with a constant back and forth in the scoresheets as the Nuggets managed to turn the tides around in the end and take an 8-point victory against the latter who were trying to get the dub since the beginning of the match. But more than the Nuggets’ victory, Nikola Jokic making people in the crowd fall asleep garnered more attention and led the social media attention for the team in nothing but a sleepy way.

In the Nuggets’ matchup against the Pelicans, after the midway of the 4th quarter, 4 minutes 54 seconds are remaining on the clock and the Nuggets are moving the ball around flawlessly as they manage to create a gap in the Pelicans’ defense which is the perfect chance for Jokic to exploit. Jokic takes the ball and drives into the paint area which is when you imagine the massively loud dunk incoming, but instead, something else happens.
Nikola Jokic finds his way between to of the rival players and takes a leap in order to dunk, but at that moment it seems as if he’s so unenthusiastic that he just goes for the most unathletic and soft dunk, that makes the crowd have soft screams and little “oofs”.
Let us now take a closer look at the game between the Nuggets and the Pelicans.
Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans, 138-130
The Denver Nuggets took a major victory against their rivals the New Orleans Pelicans as the former cruised past the latter credits to the Nuggets’ marquee player Nikol Jokic who scored a gargantuan 46 points and pushed through the opposition to lead his team to a massive victory.
Jokic led the way for the Nuggets with a massive 46 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds as he was followed by Aaron Gordon who scored 28 points and then Monte Morris who scored 18 points.
In an inadequate effort, succumbing to the pressure put up by Jokic, the Pelicans were led by Brandon Ingram who scored 38 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds and was followed by CJ McCollum who scored 24 points.
The Pelicans who have recently had slumpy performances will look to turn the tide around for themselves and the Nuggets will try to continue the way in which the things are going.
